Ilosu's words made Julius breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that his father-in-law could still control the murderous god in front of him, or in other words, make him worry.
After all, this mercenary group is a group of people. If they were really surrounded and suppressed by the Crimson Principality, no one would be able to escape except Elos. It seemed that his life was saved for the time being.
Iroth walked in the palace of the city lord of Tirisfal with an expressionless face while Julius followed him step by step, trying his best to add a little more leverage to his uncertain fate.
Ekaterina followed the two of them, holding a small ice storm formed by frost in her hand. It seemed that she didn't believe Julius and was always ready to take action.
Although Julius is only a mid-level swordsman, his senses are very keen. The slightest chill coming from behind reminds him all the time. If the answer is not good, this ice-cold woman will not hesitate to give it to him.
Killed on the spot.
Dang Dang Dang.
Elos casually knocked on Julius' dark red leather-lined luxurious desk and praised:
"It's actually made of ancient elven trees. It's really a good thing. If you blaspheme the elves' sacred objects, aren't you afraid that the high elves in the Central Mountains will peel off your skin? Well, this crystal cup looks like it has been around for a while. Look.
It also looks like a product of high elves. Who said that anything, as long as it is old enough, has value."
"This is a famous saying by the art critic Honeywell. His original intention of saying this was to satirize the situation in which the value of paintings or poems at that time soared immediately after the death of the author." Ekaterina continued, learning and
Appraisal of works of art is one of the courses that members of the royal family must learn.
However, Yekaterina was a little surprised to see such luxurious and valuable items in such a remote small town of a small principality. You must know that these precious items are rare even in the Alplekes royal family.
"Sir, these were given to me by my father-in-law. The Patrick family started out mainly by making art, and now it is also a pillar industry, so they gave it to me. If you like it, please take it all and treat it as a small business.
I respect you all!"
Julius said respectfully that at this moment, the situation was stronger than that of others, and he could not care about these external things.
In fact, these precious works of art were not given to Julius by Marquis Patrick. He said this just to flatter himself, because his father-in-law, the Marquis, did not like him very much, but his daughter was seeking death and survival.
He would not marry unless he, so he could not agree to their marriage.
As for giving Julius something expensive, don't even think about it.
These were secretly taken out for him from the family treasury by his wife, the daughter of the Marquis.
If it weren't for the fear that Julius would be killed by the enemies of the Patrick family during the gilding period in the border town, which would damage the family's reputation and make his daughter sad, that's why Marquis Patrick sent three magicians and three gold-level magicians.
The knight guards Julius, otherwise Marquis Patrick really doesn't want to care about this son-in-law.
It’s really hard for a woman to help herself!
One gold-level and two silver-level magicians, as well as three gold-level knights, no matter where they are, they are a force that cannot be underestimated.
Especially gold level magicians are extremely valuable.
Now, because of his own selfish desires, he has fallen into the hands of this murderous god. He doesn't know how furious Marquis Patrick will be when he finds out. Thinking of this, Julius couldn't help but tremble in his calf.
My father-in-law didn't know what other means he would use to punish himself, but that was a story for later. We should get rid of Elos first.
As long as you can survive, that is victory!
Eloise did not pick on Julius, but continued to look around.
Suddenly, Eloise saw several rows of old wine in the wine cabinet: "This bottle of wine looks good, but I don't know much about wine, Katya."
When Julius heard Ilosu calling Ekaterina Katya, he thought to himself: "It turns out that this female mage is from the north, and this name is the maiden name of a girl from the Ablix Empire."
Yekaterina picked up the wine bottle and cast a spell to remove the cork. She just smelled the wine at the mouth of the bottle and said, "The place of origin should be the Bator Empire. The wine has been aged for about eighty years."
Eloise smiled slightly and said: "Julius, no, I should call you Lord Baron. It seems that your life is really good!"
Julius was shocked and immediately said with a smile:
"Sir, that's not the case at all! The villain actually doesn't have any wealth. It's not easy to come to the door to be a son-in-law! I finally arranged these things after I begged my father-in-law to get the position of the city lord. In fact... the villain's original intention is
I want those who come to my door to ask for gifts to see what grade of gifts they should prepare before they are embarrassed to take them out here, so as not to give them a gift that is neither good nor bad, and accept it and not accept it."
Eloise nodded, strolled to the window, and looked out.
Looking out from this window, the entire view of Tirisfal Square is unobstructed.
At this moment, normal order has been restored in Tirisfal, and the civilians are doing whatever they are supposed to do, and their lives have not been affected by the fighting.
It seems that the folk customs of the Crimson Principality are indeed as tough as the legends, and it is surprising to see them today.
In fact, the main reason why these residents lived in peace was because the heavy-armed soldiers and knights who died in the battle were not locals, but private soldiers recruited by Julius with his money from poaching the Patrick family.
Most of the elite soldiers recruited by Julius who surrounded Iros and others that day were killed or wounded, and not many survived.
As for the local garrison, after the collapse of the elite soldiers, they realized something was wrong and ran away.
Julius also hated these local untouchables with a passion.
Another reason is that Tirisfal is a small border town, not a major transportation thoroughfare, and has little output. There is really no money to be made.
The city lords who come to Tirisfal to serve are for temporary gold plating and will be transferred within a few years. After having a resume of grassroots governance in the border areas, they will naturally rise to the top.
Except for the average conditions, Tirisfal has been officially recognized as one of the places where the nobles of the Crimson Principality go to get gold.
Julius' father-in-law, Marquis Patrick, couldn't stand his daughter's pleas and hoped that his son-in-law would be more respectable, so he spent 50,000 gold galleons to arrange for Julius, a son-in-law with no political experience, to be transferred to Tiris.
Law.
Next year, Julius will be transferred back to Tiffany to serve as assistant to the Minister of Finance. All this has been arranged by Marquis Patrick.
Unfortunately, it is all in vain now.
"Lord Baron Julius..." Iroth called.
"No! Sir, please call me Julius!"
"Okay, Julius, how are you going to explain this to your superiors?"
"I don't know about that anymore. It's easy to say that those soldiers were all recruited by me privately. As long as the pension is in place, there will be no future troubles."
"But Master Delaware is a distinguished guest of my father-in-law, Marquis Patrick, and the three gold-level knights are all important forces in the family. They came here to protect me, and their deaths this time are unknown.
, I’m just afraid that I, Marquis Patrick, will skin me!”
Julius cried like he was mourning his heir, but he was careful not to anger Iloth.
"How long can this matter be kept secret?" Eloise asked.
"The law of the principality states that each city needs to use the city's magic circle to send messages to Tiffany every three days. Tomorrow is the day to send the message." Julius said.
"It doesn't matter, Katya is a magician, so she can use the magic circle. As for how long you can hide it, it's up to you!"
Eloise looked at Julius calmly, instantly making him break into a cold sweat:
"Of course, sir, I will try my best to cooperate with you. I will order Tirisfal to be sealed off, and only entry and no exit are allowed!"
